OUR TRADE

We are neither breeders nor sowers. We specialize in varietal selection.

The system is simple:

Each year we receive 50-60 selections: The selections are grafted ontorootstocks that correspond to the different varieties and to the soilsfound in the experimental orchards, (in recent years the health obligation to introduce rootstocks through the quarantine station in Clermont Ferrand has slowed down selection).

INTERNATIONAL PLANT SELECTION

International Plant Selection was created by Jean-Pierre Darnaud in 1992 to serve Darnaud Nurseries.
IPS was formed following a change to Mondial Fruit Selection. After developing in France, a European network was established with an especially strong holding Spain near Murcia. In 2005, IPS IBERICA was created with the permanent presence of Alexander Darnaud.
